Collaboration inthe Post-PC EraThe workplace is undergoing a dramatic evolution in the way people work, communicate, interact and conduct business. Businesses must be able to collaborate anytime, anywhere. With this evolution, companies can enable breakthrough levels of collaboration, innovation and productivity. Let’s look at a day in the life of people working in this post-PC era.

Enter the Cloud

The Rise of the New Workplace

Social is the New Way of Working

Managing a Universe of Devices

Cloud collaboration o�ers a rich and easy-to-use browser experience combined with increased business agility, �nancial planning of CapEx to OpEx and deployment �exibility of centrally managed and maintained applications. For collaboration, the cloud can deliver a high-quality experience — across devices, across clouds, and from cloud to on-premises securely.

People are inherently more mobile and distributed, yet workers still expect a consistent, rich user-experience across all communications on their choice of devices. To address this new workplace, IT teams around the world are focused on mobility, security and virtualization.

Video is Transformingthe Way We Do Business

Video is changing the game. In exponential orders of magnitude, video is transforming the business and collaboration process.

Workers are increasingly starting their day in social applications and expect to bridge their world of work with apps that are in sync with their communication style.

PCs are being outsold by smartphones, tablets, desktop phones and video units. Workers are using them at home, in the o�ce and in the �eld.
